PT-1240PEQ

Overview

The PT-1240PEQ is a piezoelectric transducer from the Mallory Sonalert PT series, designed for through-hole mounting. It operates at a nominal voltage of 5 VDC with a current draw of 2 mA. The device produces a continuous tone at a frequency of 4 kHz and delivers a sound pressure level of 80 dB. Its physical dimensions are 13.8 mm in diameter and 8.3 mm in height, utilizing solder pin termination for PCB integration.

Feature Summary

• External drive piezoelectric technology
• Through-hole solder pin termination
• Compact circular form factor

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indication
• Control panel audio alerts
• Consumer appliance signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PEQ' against official Mallory Sonalert documentation to confirm environmental or material specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead time and RoHS compliance status. Confirm that the through-hole package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-reliability audible indicator is required for 5 VDC systems. The external drive design necessitates an external oscillator circuit. Consider the 80 dB output and 4 kHz frequency for audibility requirements in standard industrial or consumer environments.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PT series of piezoelectric transducers manufactured by Mallory Sonalert Products Inc. The series is characterized by compact sizes and through-hole construction, serving as fundamental audio alerting elements in various electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations
